Women Bike PHL Shrinks the Gender Gap in Bicycling

Women represent only one third of bicyclists in Philadelphia, according to the Bicycle Coalition of Philadelphia. This is slightly better than the national average, but there is still a gender gap that exists in bicycling. Katie Monroe of the Bicycle Coalition started Women Bike PHL, a community of women bicyclists that hosts social events, rides, and classes to encourage women of all ages to bike.

I enjoy stumbling upon quaint neighborhoods, hidden markets, and intriguing eats. When I’m not globetrotting, I’m either in New York City or Philadelphia reviewing stories as Travel Editor of LOCO MAG and blogging about my escapades in Wanderlust Notes. I’ve also written about entertainment, sustainability, and media for USAToday.com, Grid Magazine, and Grandparents.com.
